Ekaterinburg, Russia, August 8, 2013 – Putting
aside their volleyball rivalries for a few hours, the participating teams of
the World Grand Prix in Ekaterinburg took part in a special event at the
Kharitonov gardens.

The national teams
from Cuba, Thailand and Russia, who were in Ekaterinburg to participate in the World
Grand Prix, helped to create a garden with local school children.

It was a unique social
event with an excellent turn out in spite of the weather. After all the hard work was done, the young
gardeners were invited to take part in a workshop where they were given
hands on experience with simple scientific experiments.
